On the Design:

This vintage Gabbeh runner rug is a brilliant specimen of rustic tribal artistry, echoing the heritage of nomadic weavers through its primitive symbolism and playful spirit. Two stylized lions dominate the red field with their bold, angular forms—each rendered in deep tones with naive charm and expressive features. Their manes, whimsically adorned with streaks of black and rust, feel both ancient and oddly animated, imbuing the piece with a folkloric personality. The lions are enclosed within a geometric border which further contributes to a lively sense of narrative, almost like illustrations from a tribal storybook. Ideal for eclectic interiors or spaces seeking a touch of whimsy and warmth, this Gabbeh rug is an heirloom-quality artifact with enduring charm and collectibility.
